2. To continuously create awareness about the negative effects of corruption and sensitise citizens on the need to work together towards curbing it in all spheres of society;
3. To empower citizens to demand responsiveness, accountability and transparency from people and institutions in Ghana;
4. To build a culture of integrity, where corruption is unprofitable for people in government, politics, business and civil society, through collaboration with like-minded people and groups

The Project

Ghana ranks 81 out of 180 countries in Transparency International’s 2017 Corruption Perceptions Index and tackling corruption in Ghana is be a key part of the Ghana Beyond Aid Agenda.

Ghana Integrity Initiative, in collaboration with the Private Enterprise Foundation, will work with the public and private sector to build the promotion of a national integrity system and ensure the achievement of the Ghana Beyond Aid Agenda.
